	1) What does AM_PATH_GLIB do, and where is it defined?  Note:

[dereks@localhost glib-1.2.6]$ grep AM_PATH_GLIB *.h *.c
[dereks@localhost glib-1.2.6]$ 

	2) This isn't going into an application, per se.  It's going into
a new data type that (I believe) will be generally useful.  When it's done
(and I have some application code to demonstrate its usefulness) I will
submit it for possible inclusion into Glib.  Is GLIB_CHECK_VERSION still
inappropriate?
